Constructs a cruciform section.
Constructs a cruciform section centered at the origin
(0, 0)
, with depthd
, widthb
, thicknesst
and root radiusr
, usingn_r
points to construct the root radius.- Parameters:
d (float) – Depth of the cruciform section
b (float) – Width of the cruciform section
t (float) – Thickness of the cruciform section
r (float) – Root radius of the cruciform section
n_r (int) – Number of points discretising the root radius
material (Material) – Material to associate with this geometry
- Returns:
Cruciform section geometry
- Return type:
Example
The following example creates a cruciform section with a depth of 250 mm, a width of 175 mm, a thickness of 12 mm and a root radius of 16 mm, using 16 points to discretise the radius:
from sectionproperties.pre.library import cruciform_section cruciform_section(d=250, b=175, t=12, r=16, n_r=16).plot_geometry()
